The Predator design is a classic, and arguably the greatest sentient alien depiction in cinema; he's human enough to make a worthy adversary and even garner sympathy, but not hokey like StarTrek aliens. The Predator is also one of the most fully-developed alien depictions. His vision, advanced weaponry and cloak, and even he's motivations as a lone hunter have all been well thought through, and they make a cohesive believable whole.
